Gaze and Dwell

Gaze and Dwell interaction uses your head movement as a pointer, and focusing on any object allows you to select any option in the application.

This feature is recommended for only a few applications where the objective is to explore the immersive environment with minimum interactions.

How to Implement Gaze and Dwell Interaction

• The developer can select the Pointer source from the editor inside the input manager.

• Drag and drop JMRGazeandDwellInteractable.cs to use the default Gaze and Dwell features. For example, 3d objects,2d objects, UI elements, etc.; for more information, refer to the Example scene.

• To add custom behavior in your UI extent IDwellhandler Interface

  • OnDwellStart

  • OnDwellCancel

  • OnDwellCompleted

Gaze and dwell works on unity's scaled time scale, which means that interaction WILL get slower and faster with Time.timeScale. In the same way, if Time.timeScale is set to 0, Gaze and dwell will not be triggered.

Switching between Gaze Mode and JioGlass Controller at runtime

To change the current pointing source between Gaze Mode and JioGlass Controller at runtime, use the below line of code; it will change Gaze mode (Head) to Controller Mode and vice versa -

JMRPointerManager.Instance.SwitchPointingSource();

To get the current pointing source, use the below line of code -

JMRPointerManager.Instance.PrefferedPointingSource
